quote:Gordon and Harden are basically the same player. Gordon has just had the misfortune of getting injured and not being able to get into a rhythm. They both play good defense, can shoot the 3, and are excellent at getting to the rim and finishing or drawing contact. Gordon was off tonight but it happens. If Gordon isn't a star player than neither is Harden, plain and simple.

Gordon has never played at the level Harden is playing at this season. Ever. Gordon has never played at the level Harden played at LAST year, and Harden has gotten better this year. Harden last season PER 21+, Gordon never came close to that much less Harden's 23.8 of this year.

Gordon had to do everything for the shitty Clippers his first 2 years and his best PER came when they had Blake Griffin to be a #2 option. If Gordon could've played a whole season last year or this year you don't think he could have a 20+ PER?
